When we think of the technology trends defined in 2018, people will think of "digital transformation", "cloud computing", "AI", "machine learning" and "Internet of Things". So what about 2019? Although it is difficult to predict the future of technology, we can still refer to several key technologies that VIA participated in in promoting innovation in 2019.
driverless technology
In recent years, smart transportation has been seen as the current trend. Urban unmanned buses, light rail trams, trains, and the increasing number of smart fleets and private vehicles on the streets are all booming. In many ways, driverless driving can bring convenience to users and reduce operator costs.
In recent years, autonomous driving technology has been rapidly maturing. From onboard enhanced AI products that can maintain important safety factors to rapidly shrink sensors, hardware devices are becoming increasingly lightweight and simple. VIA has also made certain achievements in driverless driving.
Take VIA Mobile360 M820 ADAS system as an example, which is integrated on the world's first unmanned autonomous bus: Enchi unmanned bus, which debuted in April 2018. It is reported that in this system, the Edge AI ADAS camera provides important safety measures, including forward collision warning, lane departure warning and speed limit detection functions.
Robot technology
Robot technology and the dynamic space of professional drones will become a truly innovative product in 2019. Improved data capabilities (including 5G and 802.11ax Wi-Fi) along with Edge AI and significantly improved cameras will come together to provide superior navigation performance and imaging capabilities. The key point here is the growth of depth sensing cameras, which enables drones and robots to survey the surrounding environment in 3D, either for navigation purposes, or for drawing amplified reality (AR) and enantioscopic areas.
VIA has partnered with AI vision startup Lucid to provide AI-based depth sensing capabilities for dual-camera and multi-camera lens devices in this field, embedding Lucid's advanced 3D fusion technology into VIA's Edge AI 3D development kit. This rigorous integration saves enterprise developers a lot of time during the revenue-intensive startup phase and enables the rapid expansion required for local deep detection.
Smart camera, more intelligent interaction
In 2019, digital security will inevitably play a key role in all walks of life. Recent innovations in camera technology have made facial recognition a feasible technology in hundreds of public places and enterprises around the world, and such a trend will rise in 2019.
automatic detection and analysis is probably the fastest growing field. It is based on facial recognition technology and provides emotions, behaviors and object-based detection.
VIA Smart Doorbell L one-stop solution opens new opportunities for the wireless smart home security market. In addition to adoption. In addition to quasi-product hardware modules with high-performance 1080p full HD camera and night vision, the system also boasts a set of user-friendly Apple® iPhone® and Android smartphone applications that provide excellent video quality and advanced motion sensing.
VPai Home Smart Doorbell L is available in stylish gray and supports multiple languages. With our fast and comprehensive VPai product services, we support the customization of its hardware and software to meet the specific needs of users and manage procurement, manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance and logistics processes.
Industrial Internet of Things is becoming more mature
With the improvement of reliability of wireless sensors, increasing miniaturization and the maturity of related control and monitoring systems, the industrial Internet of Things will continue to become the development trend in 2019. From the micro ultrasonic sensor monitoring the frequency of heavy machinery to real-time edge intelligent platforms such as FogHorn Lightning (used to monitor current curves), businesses that can prevent maintenance problems, such as machines with insufficient lubricants, are gradually becoming more automated. The benefits of this trend cannot be underestimated, minimizing downtime due to unplanned maintenance and determining the problem before it becomes an irreparable error to reduce operating costs.The ability to arrange emergency major tasks during non-operating hours is particularly attractive, especially in order to increase turnover, with more and more industries turning into on-demand production and 24-hour operations.
Overall, 2019 may see considerable developments in these major areas, which are still maturing rapidly with the rapid development of technology, and with the power of powerful SDKs and development tool suites such as VIA Edge AI and VIA Edge AI 3D development tool suites, these tools can help you gain a crucial foothold in the future.
